CPAP PRESSURES

Hey everyone, this is my first post on this forum. I’ve been struggling for almost two years now and am feeling extremely depressed and even suicidal. Any help would be a godsend to me. For context, I am a 22-year-old male with a mild AHI of 8.1, but I understand that AHI doesn’t tell the full story. I’ve been using a CPAP and have also tried BiPAP, but I’ve struggled to find the right settings. My CPAP is set to pressures of 10–14 cm H₂O with an EPR of 3.

In OSCAR, the data is showing that I’m using a VAuto, but I’m actually using an AirSense 10. This might be because I’ve used the same SD card for both machines. As you can see in the attached PDF, my flow rate looks terrible, even though the flow limitation graph appears fine. I’m using a nasal mask with mouth tape, but I can only keep the mask on for about four hours before waking up with anxiety and being unable to fall asleep again.

Please let me know how I can improve my flow rate and make my therapy as effective as possible. Any guidance or suggestions would mean the world to me.

Welcome to the forum...

Could you please remove the calendar and show the whole night rather than just an enlarged section of The OSCAR chart.

Once you re-post with the changes either I or someone else should be able to help you.
